3. Remove Old Headlights: Disconnect the wiring harnesses from the existing headlights. Unscrew the mounting bolts/screws holding the headlights in place and carefully remove them from the vehicle.
4. Install New Headlights: Position the new VLAND LED Headlight Assemblies into the headlight openings. Secure them using the original mounting screws. Ensure a snug fit.
5. Connect Wiring: Connect the provided adaptor wire pack and the main plug to the new headlight assemblies. Ensure all connections are firm and correct.
6. Test Functionality: Before reattaching the bumper, reconnect the car battery and test all headlight functions (DRL, low beam, high beam, turn signals) to ensure they are working correctly.
7. Adjust Headlights: Use the adjusting screws on the back of the headlight assembly to properly aim the lights. Refer to the diagram below for screw locations.
8. Reassemble: Once all functions are verified and adjustments are made, reattach the front bumper and secure all fasteners.
